Hi There,

Instead of doing all the follows you can add another
router to your DSL link. Configure HSRP on the
Ethernet interfaces. Use the Virtual IP on the PCs on
the LAN as the DG.

Configure your IPSEC Tunnel over the HSRP. This is
known as High Availability IPSEC VPN.

Read the following links to get config ideas:
